Using the BIOS Setup 
Utility 

Your notebook has a BIOS setup utility which allows you to configure important 
system settings, including settings for various optional functions of the notebook. 
This chapter explains how to use the BIOS setup utility. 
 

BIOS Setup Menu 

The BIOS Setup Utility allows you to configure your notebook basic settings. 

When you turn your notebook on, the system reads this information to initialize 

the hardware so that it can operate correctly. Use the BIOS setup utility to 

change your notebook start-up configuration. For example, you can change the 

security and power management routines of your system. 
 

Starting the BIOS Setup Utility 

You can only enter the BIOS setup utility as the notebook is booting, that is 

between the time you turn on the notebook and before the Windows interface 

appears.   

If your notebook is already on, shut down your notebook completely (power off) 

and restart it and then press the 

F2

 button to enter the setup utility.
